Denied...surprise surprise.
May 03, 2012
My requesty for pre auth was denied on 04/24/12. Therefore my surgery date has been cancelled. I wasn't surprised. I am just really disappointed. My cardiologist said I need to fight it. It seems this whole process has been a battle. But I am in tears everytime I hear someone tell their story about getting a date so quickly after starting their journey - tears of jealousy, tears of joy for them and tears of frustration. I feel so stuck between a rock and a hard spot. I CAN NOT afford to self-pay. But I am afraid I can not afford to put it off too much longer either. I don't remember the last time I had a day without pain in my knees or back. I realize that WLS can not reverse the damage already done. However losing the excess weight will certainly make a difference. I have a tentative date for sleeve surgery in Mexico in September. But only a miracle can make that happen. Its $4500. I had my psych suggest HCG and a friend at church recommend "ideal protein" diet. I am just kinda numb right now - trying to figure out my way in all this. Please keep me and this situation in your prayers. And thanks for letting me have my pity party.
